Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

First I had my Debian HD on the primairy slot of the secondairy IDE interface (Harddisk was hdc) and I reconnected it to the primairy slot of the primairy IDE (it should be hda now???).

Config:
I have two removable HD-slots (trays) in my PC. One on the IDE1 and one on the IDE2 connector, so that I can switch between Debian and Windooz by switching the key of a tray on or off.

Now I am migrating totaly to Debian, and want to use the Debian HD (which was hdc, secondairy IDE, primairy master) as hda (primairy IDE, primairy master).

After connecting the HD to the primairy IDE, primair master and booting, I get the error message:
mount: fs type devfs not supported by kernel
umount: devfs not mounted
mount: fs type devfs not supported by kernel
umount: devfs not mounted

pivot_root: No such file or direcory
